David Raya named in FIFPRO World 11

David Raya has been named in the 2026 FIFPRO World 11 after an outstanding year in N5.

Our goalkeeper was voted among the 11 best players in the world by his fellow professional footballers.

Going up against Thibaut Courtois and Emiliano Martinez for the spot between the sticks, David's magnificent year saw him win the Premier League Golden Glove award for a third year in a row, helping us end a 22-year wait for the title.

David also played a key part in us reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 20 years, keeping clean sheets in the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals.

The Spaniard also made a save in the penalty shootout as we fell just short in Budapest. The goalkeeper was also part of the Spain squad that won the World Cup in North America.

William Saliba, Gabriel and Declan Rice were also nominated for the line-up.
